EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ordnance Survey map of the east end of Sheffield, along with Rotherham, during a significant period in history - World War II. The Germans meticulously copied this map and marked it with bombing targets, providing a chilling glimpse into the strategic planning behind their air raids. The original document can be found at Sheffield City Archives (MD7731/2) and Sheffield Local Studies Library (26 M/2), serving as a testament to the importance of preserving historical artifacts. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness the impact of war on these industrial towns. The map highlights key locations such as Richmond, Meadowhall, Wincobank, Attercliffe, Tinsley, Brightside, Templeborough, Ickles - all areas deeply intertwined with steel industry giants like Hecla Works and Brown John Company. Firth Hadfields' presence is also evident along the River Don's lower valley. Notably captured are Blackburn Meadows Power Stations that played a crucial role in supplying electricity to these bustling centers. It is important to note that this information is solely for historical purposes and should not be used commercially. As we reflect upon this photograph print from Sheffield City Archives, let us remember the resilience and strength displayed by those who lived through these turbulent times while honoring their enduring legacy.
